I figure every 3000 miles wont cut it. Not only did I add a quart after after 1500 miles but Im about to change oil completely some around 2500-2700 miles. How often does everyone in hear change oil?

I went synthetic and still change every 3K.

I change oil ever 1000-1500 miles, you can NEVER change your oil too much, just depends on your wallet.. I use synthetics also.

Synthetic every 2000-2500. My dad bitches cause he's says it's a waste of money. :\

mobil 1 synthetic ever 3 thousand, but the first load i put in after i installed the turbo, i was leaking so much that i actually put in about 13 quarts in 3000 miles. now its back to normal. the way i do it is, once i see the meter hit 2500, i change it at my first convenience, which usually ends up being around 3K...oh well

Every 3k miles with Mobil 1 synthetic.

Every 2700-3000 miles with Mobil 1 synthetic, 10W30.

if you're adding oil in before an oil change.. then for some reason, you're burning more oil then you should be... maybe a broken seal somewhere?

check your sparkplugs, any oil on them?

I dunno what else could be wrong, maybe someone else can help.

Cyan.... was your oil leaking from breather? I really hope my case is the same as yours cause I cant handle this shit w/ all this leaking oil. My friend is trying to sell me his GST or TSI now and said ditch my car. I aint giving up yet but I have had a new problem every month and Im tired of dumping $ into a POS that had a horrible fucking dyno etc. Im checking spark plugs in morning and friend is telling me I might of fried rings or something. How the fuck can my car not handle 8.5psi when I got a holley fuel pump, 370cc injectors, and an AFC and its tuned? People in here run that w/o anything I got I got 2000 miles on this oil so Ill try to change it tomorrow but is it worth it if its just gonna keep on leaking? Can I block off breather or get rid of it somehow so oil cant come out? . what the hell

maybe that's why your dyno was a little off? leaking oil?

I hope that had something to do w/ dyno results cause its pretty pitiful.

Castrol SynTek was rated the best oil on the market by some digest magazine. Its the only oil in the world to pass all 3 of the test's they do on them I heard. Dont quote me on that though.

I last used Castrol Full Synthetic oil 5w-50 (bwahahah how's that for multi-viscosity!) mainly for winter and I was going to race at Buttonwillow. I'm planning on changing it at 3500 or 3000 miles and switching back to regular Castrol 10w-40 since it's gonna be warming up soon. Synthetic just costs too much for me. It's like I were taking my car to a Jiffylube but getting better oil.... :( Hehe I have an oil cooler also so that should help the oil life out a bit.

When I autocross a lot I can blow about a quart or oil out of my breather or just when I go hot rod my car. I got some oil leaks also.... :( (Gasp all that syntetic oil dripping out of my car NOOOO) I hate the bottle they put synthetic oil in, you can't use a spout with it. :(

try to change every 2500 miles, never more than 3000 miles tho.

Mobil 1 15w-30 with purolator pure one filters. use a slightly heavier weight since ive gone turbo (use to use 10w-30). ive read that this is a good idea on turbo cars, since heat is what breaks down oil, and the oil sees much higher temps sinces its circulated thru a turbo, and the slighlty higher weight helps avoid oil break down and prolong oil life.

plus i dont have to worry about cold start-ups since im in florida like the guys who have to use 5w in the winters up north do :)
